60.27 AffineNormalizer

AffineNormalizer( S )

returns the affine normalizer of the space group S. The affine normalizer contains the translation normalizer as a subgroup. Similarly as with TranslationNormalizer, the subgroup C of continuous translations, which is not finitely generated, is not part of the group that is returned. However, a basis of the space of continuous translations is bound in the component continuousTranslations.

At present, this function is available only for for space groups, not for general CrystGroups. Moreover, the NormalizerGL (see NormalizerGL) of the point group of S must be know, which currently is the case only for CrystGroups extracted from the space group library.
